A super-speed dragster White Rocket was tested at the Chaika racetrack in Kyiv. This is the first and only such “Arrow”-type car.
The White Rocket car was created in the USA specifically for the Ukrainian and European drag racing championships. It covered 402 meters on an American track in just 7 seconds.
Due to the war, the car could not start the competition, but it did make it to Kyiv. It is equipped with a massive 11-liter naturally aspirated V8 with nitros, boasting 1178 horsepower.
The Ukrainian dragster is 8 meters long and weighs 800 kg. It accelerates to one hundred in 2 seconds, the same time it takes to go from 100 to 200 km/h.
At Chaika, the White Rocket was not fully accelerated, but on a 250-meter stretch, it reached 200 km/h. Now the Ukrainian team will try to enter the competition in the UAE.
By the way, this is not the most powerful Ukrainian dragster. In Sumy, they prepared a hunchbacked Zaporizhets for drag racing, equipped with an engine delivering over 1500 horsepower.
